After working with Dr. Weiss, Director of Bands at the University of South Carolina, and hundreds of musicians at the university, we were able to get to the root cause of why Marching Band Members don’t protect their hearing. Through the process of experiencing music through the ears of performers as they choreograph and plan for months before they perform, we came to the conclusion that all earplugs on the market simply don’t work for musicians. So we looked at what all the musicians needed and developed a patented solution to give musicians total situational awareness while adequately protecting their most crucial asset –their hearing.

What We Do

There are thousands of collegiate marching bands in the US alone and countless others around the world. This means that bands must work to stay funded, as a trend in most developed nations is to eliminate arts programs first. With this in mind, we provide schools the most cost-effective means to inform students about the importance of hearing.

The process is straightforward. We visit your school to discuss your goals of hearing conservation for your band and create an installment plan. As music lovers, we want to do whatever’s possible to protect band members and preserve music as a safe and honored tradition.

Big Ear Will Come to All Band Events to Provide Hearing Protection for the Members.
